Shamez N. Ladhani et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of 4CMenB and MenACWY on MenW disease. The results showed that 4CMenB provided direct protection for children eligible for the vaccine, while the MenACWY program also indirectly prevented some cases.

Effectiveness of Meningococcal Vaccines at Reducing Invasive Meningococcal Disease and Pharyngeal Neisseria meningitidis Carriage: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Mark McMillan et al.

Summary: Meningococcal conjugate C, ACWY, and OMV vaccines are effective in reducing invasive meningococcal disease, while monovalent C conjugate vaccines can reduce pharyngeal carriage of Neisseria meningitidis. There is no evidence that multivalent MenACWY, OMV, or recombinant MenB vaccines can reduce carriage, which has implications for immunization strategies.

Meningococcal carriage in periods of high and low invasive meningococcal disease incidence in the UK: comparison of UKMenCar1-4 cross-sectional survey results

Jenny M. MacLennan et al.

Summary: The incidence of invasive meningococcal disease in the UK decreased significantly from 1999 to 2014, particularly in serogroup C and serogroup B diseases. A survey conducted in 2014-15 showed a lower carriage prevalence of meningococci in adolescents compared to previous surveys, with a decline in behaviors associated with carriage.
